Hi all,
I just got my i9300 two days ago and LOVE it! Yesterday i rooted via OLIN successfully and restored my apps from my old Evo using Titanium. Today I was prompted for an OTA update and didn't think anything of it so I let it update. Now, it seems, I can't run root aps like Titanium. I downloaded Root Checker and it shows no root access. I rebooted into recovery and I do get the recovery menu (clockwork???) menu on the phone.
What should I do?
thanks!
re-apply root using ODIN, OTA will remove root

Well, I tried and got succeed /0 failed /0.
I don't think the phone is in download mode? I have a blue menu and choices are: reboot system, apply update from cache, apply update from external memory, wipe cache, wipe data.
ideas?

Wiped Cache and wiped data but when when I connect phone to computer with phone in recovery mode it does not update / re-run the CF-Root program via Olin.
Do I need to copy the CF-Root to the SD card and run directly through the phone? Do I need to pick a particular choice from the phone's recovery menu? Since the phone was rooted when I reboot into recovery it does not go into "download" mode like it did pre root.
Thanks for any help! I see lots of people have read this thread so I'm thinking there are either lots of others that have either had this happened or are looking towards the future so to fix or prevent w/ their OTA update.
Thanks!

Right but i dont get download mode as a choice after the original root. I get other choices via the android recovery menu tgst is sort of like thw clockwork recovery recovery menu.
So do i put the zip onto my phone and run it thru the android recovery directly?

No. Put it in your PC.
When you in download mode, connect to your PC and flash cf-root (.tar file) as PDA with odin.

Hi guys
I have just flashed Omega v8.1 to my phone and reflashed CWM touch, rebooted into recovery and now my phone won't boot. It turns on and just displays the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen. I have tried flashing via the Galaxy s 3 toolkit but this requires USB debugging to be enabled. It looks as though it is not enabled as the toolkit does not recognise my phone.. The only thing I can do is boot it into download mode.
Any clues??
Thanks
If you can go on download mode, then flash stock firmware via odin.

Firstly your phone is fine, it can be easily fixed one way or another.
Can you still boot into recovery?
If not, reflash recovery using ODIN via Download mode
Once you have access to the recovery, try wiping the following:
Data/Factory reset
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Format /system (probably not required but just in case)
And then reflash the omega ROM, making sure it is not corrupt; maybe redownload/check MD5 sum to be sure.
If, for whatever reason you are still having problems with the phone not booting into Android, I would try flashing a different ROM for the time being.
Also, you posted this in the wrong section
Just flash the stock rom?
Yep bricked phone isn't really a problem, unless it's hardware related.

Ive tried flashing stock ROM via ODIN through the toolkit but this requires USB debugging mode. The issue is not with Omega as I was able to use my phone after flashing, I think the CWM flash didnt work properly.
How else can I flash via ODIN, the toolkit is the only way I know.
Thanks for the comments guys...

I d say, simply get odin separately, then re-create the same settings as when the toolkit does it.
It really is very simple once you ve done it once or twice Don t panic and take the time to make sure the right boxes are checked and double-triple check then reboot in Download mode, plug it in then gogo !

If I select flash via odin in the toolkit (option 8), it says make sure that USB debugging is enabled... If i try and continue it just waits for usb debugging and does not flash.

You can use odin without the toolkit for the meantime, just run it and put your phone on downlod mode

Ok, sry, then the toolkit reboots your device first to download mode via adb, take the already given advice to use Odin itself, just download it put the Rom tar (or tar.md5) into pda, make sure that only auto reboot and reset time is checked, reboot to download mode continue by pressing up, plugin the cable and press the start button at Odin.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
Forget running the toolkit, forget USB debugging mode. You do not need it for now.
And there is no need to download or setup ODIN or anything like that.
Just go to folder/directory where you installed the toolkit (usually C:\Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit) and look for the file called 'Odin3_v3.07' or 'Odin3_v3.04' or whatever version you find. Then run it; tada, ODIN is running now!
Now, put your phone in download mode. To do this, hold VOL DOWN and HOME and POWER buttons together and let go when you see the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' logo come up.
Then it will load up a screen that says press VOL UP to continue (and enter download mode). Press it.
Now it should say 'Downloading do not turn off target!'
Connect your USB Cable and proceed to flash a new CWM recovery using ODIN
Then once you have flashed a new recovery, boot into it (VOL UP & HOME & POWER buttons together).
Then follow my instructions from my previous post.

If you want to flash a stock ROM instead of CWM + Custom ROM then you can do that via ODIN as well.

Boot into custom recovery (VOL UP & HOME & POWER buttons together)
Then:
Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot into Android and see if that has fixed it; if not, then go back to CWM recovery and do the following:
Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format /system (probably not required but just in case)
And then flash Omega ROM again
how? CMW is not opening the phone is only able to open in download mode nothing else. Its a fault with OMEGA 8.1 mods or maybe siyah beta kernal
how to start in recovery mode? If i press the 3 buttons it takes me to download mode

I recently purchased a used S3 and wanted to clear previous owners data so I performed a factory reset, unfortunately the phone never came back on even after removing the battery. When I press power home and volume down phone goes to recovery but it is in chinese, I can see restore from SD card but when I do it it says cant mount from SD card, have I toasted the phone or is there a way to recover, I am a complete NOOB so if you can help please keep it simple.PS I called Samsung serviceand they said I would have to send the phone to Hong Kong as they would not service it here in the USA
download a ROM from the forum and try flashing via ADB in your computer.

the phone goes into recovery mode.
Can you not go into download mode?
If so just get the latest Firmware ( only the latest available on Kies ) from Sammobile and flash it with Odin, then go in recovery and do factory reset and clear cache and reboot, see how that goes!
change your CSC to match the ROM so you can use Kies latter on (ex: BTU with BTU)
On you call pad *#272*you IME here# then chose to match your Firmware.
I hope this helps

the recovery is APKGEGE.com, when I see there site it looks like they sell fake phones so I think I dont have a genuine S3
Recently got a used Galaxy Note i717,went to install the ICS update but it would not update thriough KIES.Find out the previois owner had rooted it so I just install the stock ICS firmware manually following a guide I foiund.One problem,when I hold down POWER + VOL.UP I dont get tge screen that lets you wipe cache and what not.
Phone seems to be.working fine so far,been using it a couple days but what happens when I want to install a custom rom?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
If you put a custom ROM, it will wipe your device, which you have to, for installing a Custom ROM, and all custom ROMs are rooted btw. And yes I stay away from KIES...
You might of lost recovery when you install the ICS firmware. Here is the Super Thread with all the tools and ROMs.>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
If you are rooted, I would put the latest TWRP here>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Then just find the custom ROM of your liking and download/install on your device, FTW.
The correct procedure to boot into Recovery is :
Hold power + volume up AND volume down until you feel the phone vibrate THEN release the power button (still holding volume up and down). The phone will then boot into Recovery. It should either be " Clockwork Mod Recovery " or "TWRP". There, you can wipe, install, backup, etc.

Use ODIN to flash the .tar file for the original ics 4.0.4 for at&t if you haven't already.. make sure "repartition" is off.

Thank you,this kind of worked but what showed up was "Android System Recovery <3e>.
Is this Clockwork or TWRP?
The previous owner rooted it but I cant get hold of him to ask him exactly what he did.
Its neither, it's stock recovery.
You have to flash a file from your pc to the phone to replace stock recovery with a custom recovery like CWR or TWRP.

I see.I already have Odin installed and used it to flash the stock 4.04 since it would not update from KIES,will installing CWR or TWRP cause any issues?
No, just get in download mode and flash the TWRP odin file (I prefer TWRP over CWR). Reboot and you will go into recovery. Take a few minutes to make a backup of your rom.

It comes down to personal preference really ...
As CWM does a fine job as a recovery. But TWRP has many more features for the user, and seems to provide a much better user experience.
TWRP is clearly better supported, without the common outdated "status 7" errors often found in CWM.
Up to you obviously, but it's TWRP for me ....g
^^^^^ well said, Sarge. I was a CWR user for ten phones and tablets, but I tried TWRP on this phone. Its the bomb-diggity.
So its the first time im messing with that staff.i wanted to flash omega rom at my s3. i tried to install but nothing happened so i tried to wipe my cache settings. when i pressed that option my phone stucked. it shows me the galaxy screen, then boots and shows the android icon for a sec and then the same again forever. i put off the battery, powered on the phone and again that problem. Even when its closed and i want to charge it it wont show ths battery icon but will start that boot thing. any ideas?
Can you get in download mode? If so then flash stock Rom with Odin.....see the stickies at top of the s3 general forum for all basics

Hi Folks
I have an old Galaxy S3 i9300 I'm attempting to resurrect. There's nothing on it (I can't remember what was last done with it or when I last used it). I'm trying to flash a bootloader through ODIN but I can't enter download mode on the phone. It comes up with the warning screen, if I try to press volume up nothing happens. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks
Does the volume key work? Try booting to recovery to test.
Download mode is an entirely separate and secure partition, if that is corrupt then you are unlikely to resurrect the phone.

Download mode is an entirely separate and secure partition, if that is corrupt then you are unlikely to resurrect the phone.

It seems the volume up key is broken. I'll figure out a workaround - perhaps touch recovery, if I can figure out a way to get into recovery

Well I've been able to flash recovery using ODIN, but I can't get into recovery to load the ROM without the volume up key.. Any ideas?
I was hoping to be able to flash CM11 using ODIN, if that's possible. It doesn't like .zip files. Is there a download source for .tar.md5 versions that can be loaded through ODIN?
Thanks again
Fix the button, adb command to reboot to recovery might work in download mode but you'll have to research.
You can't flash custom rom via Odin.

Flash stock in download mode, use any number of apps in playstore to reboot into recovery. ktool or rom manager being acouple.
Or use CM installer to install CM.
